Method of terminating network device session

Abstract

A method for session termination includes receiving, by a script server from an operations support system (OSS), a request to terminate a session of at least one target device, the request being generated based on a selection of the at least one target device by a server device, executing, by the script server, a termination script to terminate the session of the at least one target device based on the request to terminate the session, receiving, by the script server, a response indicating a result of the termination script execution, and sending, by the script server to the OSS, the result of the termination script execution.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method for session termination, comprising:
 receiving, by a script server from an operations support system (OSS), a request to terminate a session of at least one target device, the request being generated based on a selection of the at least one target device by a server device; 
 executing, by the script server, a termination script to terminate the session of the at least one target device based on the request to terminate the session; 
 receiving, by the script server, a response indicating a result of the termination script execution; and 
 sending, by the script server to the OSS, the result of the termination script execution. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the selection of the at least one target device by the server device is performed in response to a credential change of the at least one target device. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 2 , wherein the credential change of the at least one target device occurs during the session. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 2 , wherein the credential change comprises a password change initiated by the server device. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the request to terminate the session of the at least one target device comprises at least one credential of the server device. 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the executing, by the script server, the termination script comprises:
 accessing the server device from a root user; and 
 terminating the session of the at least one target device. 
 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the response indicating the result of the termination script execution comprises a failure indication when the session of the at least one target device does not exist on the server device. 
     
     
       8. A system for session termination, comprising:
 a server device, 
 an operations support system (OSS); and 
 a script server comprising hardware circuitry, 
 wherein the script server is configured to:
 receive, from the OSS, a request to terminate a session of at least one target device, the request being generated based on a selection of the at least one target device by the server device; 
 execute a termination script to terminate the session of the at least one target device based on the request to terminate the session; 
 receive a response indicating a result of the termination script execution; and 
 send, to the OSS, the result of the termination script execution. 
 
 
     
     
       9. The system of  claim 8 , wherein the selection of the at least one target device by the server device is performed in response to a credential change of the at least one target device. 
     
     
       10. The system of  claim 9 , wherein the credential change of the at least one target device occurs during the session. 
     
     
       11. The system of  claim 9 , wherein the credential change comprises a password change initiated by the server device. 
     
     
       12. The system of  claim 8 , wherein the request to terminate the session of the at least one target device comprises at least one credential of the server device. 
     
     
       13. The system of  claim 8 , wherein the script server is configured to execute the termination script by:
 accessing the server device from a root user; and 
 terminating the session of the at least one target device. 
 
     
     
       14. The system of  claim 8 , wherein the response indicating the result of the termination script execution comprises a failure indication when the session of the at least one target device does not exist on the server device. 
     
     
       15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
 receive, by a script server from an operations support system (OSS), a request to terminate a session of at least one target device, the request being generated based on a selection of the at least one target device by a server device; 
 execute, by the script server, a termination script to terminate the session of the at least one target device based on the request to terminate the session; 
 receive, by the script server, a response indicating a result of the termination script execution; and 
 send, by the script server to the OSS, the result of the termination script execution. 
 
     
     
       16. The storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the selection of the at least one target device by the server device is performed in response to a credential change of the at least one target device. 
     
     
       17. The storage medium of  claim 16 , wherein the credential change of the at least one target device occurs during the session. 
     
     
       18. The storage medium of  claim 16 , wherein the credential change comprises a password change initiated by the server device. 
     
     
       19. The storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the request to terminate the session of the at least one target device comprises at least one credential of the server device. 
     
     
       20. The storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to execute, by the script server, the termination script by:
 accessing the server device from a root user, and 
 terminating the session of the at least one target device.
